Join author and educator Ryan Jenkins from Wonderful Idea Co. at Cambridge Science Centre to get introduced to the tinkering approach to STEAM learning, get hands-on by playing and exploring everyday materials using project prompts and materials featured in the new book 'The Tinkering Workshop'. 

During the workshop we’ll take a deep dive into the world of tinkering. Tinkering is a way to learn about art science and technology that emphasizes experimentation, collaboration and playfulness. For tinkering projects there’s not a specific end-point and each design will be different depending on the questions and ideas of the learners. 

We’ll be using cardboard, wire and washers to explore balance and build unique “weighted wobblers” with the addition of tiny pager motors and batteries for an electrified experimental workshop. Each session will include a quick introduction to the book, a quick project example and plenty of time to build and tinker. Signed copies of The Tinkering Workshop will be available for purchase.

These free workshops will take place from 10:30-12:00 and 12:30-2:00. Sign up here to save your spot at this event as space will be limited:
